Petition to name a street in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
after Nikola Tesla

Petition to name a street in Las Vegas after Nikola Tesla.

Target: Oscar Goodman, Mayor of the City of Las Vegas, City of Las
Vegas Government
Sponsor:
Prof. Michael Pravica

2006 was the
sesquicentennial of the birth of one of the world’s greatest geniuses: the
Serbian-American inventor, Nikola Tesla.
20th Century progenitor, his many inventions include: radio, alternating
current, fluorescent lighting, radar, remote control and hydroelectric
power. Though few human beings have not been impacted by his many
inventions, few people are aware of the person who literally transformed
our way of life at the turn of the 20 Century. It is in this spirit of
recognizing this forgotten genius that I encourage the leaders of the City
of Las Vegas to name a street in his honor especially as there is already
a street named after Thomas Edison. Tesla’s inventions have so greatly
impacted Las Vegas via Hoover dam, air conditioning, neon lighting on the
strip, radar, radio, remote control, and many others. Las Vegas, the city
of lights is literally illuminated today because of Tesla’s invention of
alternating current.

Nikola Tesla designed the first hydro-electric power plant in Niagara
Falls. This was the final victory of Tesla's Alternating Current
over Edison's Direct Current. The monument was the work of
Croatian sculptor Frane Krsinic.

Tesla Coil

Tesla discovered the Tesla Coil in 1891. At the turn of the
century, Tesla's Coil was an integral part of every physics laboratory.
Tesla's Coil is used today in radio, television and many other
applications.
